STORAGE AIR High pressure ENERGY IN RESERVE When an application requires storage, either in the form of a single cylinder or multiple cylinders, arranged either for bulk or in banks for cascading, a properly sized storage system offers many benefits to the compressed air/gas system. The main purpose of storage is to serve as a reservoir to handle constant, sudden or unusually high demands for air/gas that can exceed the capacity of the compressor. Storage protects the compressor from the direct demand of the system as well as serving to dampen or eliminate pressure pulsations to the system. Each high pressure application must be carefully reviewed to determine the best type and size of storage to use. The cost of equipment as well as operational and maintenance costs can be reduced by properly matching the compressor to the storage system. BAUER recommends that the compressor does not start more than 4 times per hour to avoid short-cycling of the compressor. Short-cycling can be detrimental to the compressor, motor, compressor control system and to the high pressure system. This brochure will serve as a guide to selecting the best storage system solution for your application. The volume of storage required for a specific application depends upon: A. Consumption rate of the system B. Capacity of the compressor/booster C. Deadband of the final pressure sensor STORAGE SIZING Bulk storage for limiting the number of compressor starts to 4 times per hour can be calculated by the following formula: VR = 58 x (QC / Δ P) Where: - VR = Volume of storage, cubic feet water volume - QC = Capacity of compressor, standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) - ΔP= Approximate deadband of final pressure sensor, pounds per square inch differential (psid). Multiple cylinders and banks can be used for applications that require a large volume of storage. Contact BAUER for sizing storage with multiple banks for cascading. 4
